As summer is quickly approaching, it’s time to start thinking about the heat that is right around the corner. Avoid the headache of emergency HVAC issues this summer by preparing your system to ensure it will be reliable and running efficiently all summer long. By following a few steps, you will not only avoid unexpected breakdowns but also avoid long service wait times and save money. You can ease your mind that no matter what the weather is doing outside your tenants and employees will be cool and comfortable.
These steps can help you plan accordingly:
Check Air Filters And Clean Or Replace Them As Needed
Make sure all your filters are inspected on a regular basis before the summer heat kicks in, and continue to do so throughout the summer. By cleaning and replacing your air filters ahead of time, you can avoid creating a stuffy and uncomfortable environment for employees and tenants.
Check The Thermostat:
Large commercial buildings, especially if there are several tenants, can lead to a lot of thermostat changes within different areas of the building. This can be a strain on the HVAC system and disrupt the proper distribution of temperatures. If you haven’t already installed a programmable thermostat to control your HVAC system, consider doing so as part of this year’s HVAC maintenance. Programmable thermostats offer precise control over your HVAC equipment’s operation and can save you significant amounts of money on your monthly cooling bills.
Schedule A Routine Maintenance Check
If you didn’t have preventive maintenance performed on your commercial HVAC system in the spring, now is the time to schedule that appointment. Consider an all-inclusive preventative maintenance package. Ongoing maintenance of your commercial HVAC equipment will save your company money by lowering utility bills, prolonging the life of your HVAC system, and reducing the potential of costly repairs.
By taking better care of your commercial HVAC system during the summer months, you’ll ensure a season’s worth of excellent performance and indoor comfort. HVAC maintenance on your air conditioner or heat pump will also ensure your ongoing energy costs remain as low as possible during months when you use your HVAC system more frequently.
